Entrepreneurs Yang Kaikai and Liu Shuman have both built social enterprises to curb carbon emissions. We quizzed the Gen.T honourees in the Social Impact Quickfire to learn more about their work
What motivates some of the region’s leading social entrepreneurs? How do they lead their industry? And how do they hope to make an even greater impact?
We had so many burning questions for the winners of this year’s Gen.T x Credit Suisse Social Impact Awards that we couldn’t choose between them. So we decided to ask them all—really, really fast.
Produced in partnership with Credit Suisse, the Social Impact Awards recognise Gen.T honourees who are using technology to create social impact at scale.
For the Social Impact Quickfire, we partnered two awardees in the same industry, shooting off dozens of rapid-fire questions about their company, their why and the impact they make.
